Site raised a large family of children and. when overtaken by illness her son, Frank gave up his career as a mining engineer and built him a home for his parents'' in their declining years. I ater he was joined by his widowed sister, Mrs. Mary Isles and well have the two children fulfilled their trust. Mr. and Mrs. Foote have lived serenely in the Christian's faith and in the hour of suffering suffer-ing for the one, and of sad bereavement be-reavement for the other, both were sustained by ilie Christian's hope. With peculiar appropiate-ness appropiate-ness could we smg over her remains re-mains the words of this beautiful beauti-ful hymn. "Tired, Ah yes, so tired my deal The day has been very long. .
